Getting parts that are not in a complete kit is not that bad actually. Easiest, cheapest and best quality would be this IMO: (are you comfortable with doing a bbl install? It's not very hard actually)
LPK, stripped upper (with ejection port cover and forward assist already installed), and bolt carrier group from stag (as Bumper said, that's CMT), pick out a 16" bbl of your choosing. I like Bushy because it's chrome lines, 4150 steel and not too expensive.
Pick out a rail system of your choosing. A good inexpensive one is made by yankee hill machine. LaRue makes a top of the line on but it ain't cheap.
Do you want a solid front sight or flip up? You can order a dissy bbl with a solid front sight from Bushy, although it has a carbine length gas system. Or you can get a 16" bbl with a midlength gas system (longer gas system, longer cycle time, slightly less recoil) from say RRA and then mount a front sight on the rail system. (16" bbl + any rifle length rail system or standard handguards will of course give you the dissy sight radius) Confused yet?! There are tons of options that you can specifically tailor to what you want/need beyond what is offered in kits.
Last of all, you should order a upper reciever vise block and bbl wrench from DPMS. These are the only specialized tools you will need assuming you have a vise.
